My little man is super spoiled already!! He received a lot of gifts including: a Hess truck collection (never opened) my dad had saved and collected over the last 30 years, a Cars II collector's cars, clothes, shoes, diapers, beautiful crib and dressers, and a stocking with his name. I felt so blessed to know how loved he is already by family!
I didn't get any gifts this year for me or baby, but my brother is giving me a bunch of things their little girl has grown out of, so I'm super excited to meet up with him and see them
That's awesome you're already receiving gifts for baby this Christmas! My bestie got my LO 2 Eco size boxes of diapers and a couple of outfits, thankful for that.. @cgoldian you're so freakin lucky!
I got the SOFTEST blanket ever! Giraffes, elephants, etc. on one side and green on the other. I said it's perfect for when LO is screaming because me rubbing the soft blanket will soothe me too.

I am waiting until hubby gets home from work tonight to open our gifts. I see 5 or 6 small boxes under the tree for her. Sweet of ppl to think of her while she still bakes in my tummy :x

I am totally soothed by rubbing soft blankets too! I will be stocking up on the super soft ones for my own sensory benefit.
LO got a few books and a toy from two of my sisters. One of my co-workers also gave me a book, rattle and stuffed animal. I wasn't expecting any gifts so it was a sweet surprise.

DH's grandma, so baby's great grandma, is not doing very well. She frequently forgets that there is (or will be) a baby, other problems along those lines. So we both about started crying when we opened up a box with a handmade pillow and baby blanket inside. Apparently she'd made them several years ago for us "just in case" and the in laws found them when they were moving her from her house to a home. I teared up again just typing that out.
DH is getting me a ring with baby's birthstone, and I know baby is getting a few little things from family on both sides but we haven't opened presents yet so I don't know what

Nothing for us, yet. All of our Christmas was focused on DD since this will be her last christmas by herself. However, we still have to go home over the weekend so we might get something then!
Not much for baby; technically he got a couple stuffed animals, a book, and a bath toy/book set, but I think they are meant for both kids, so that probably doesn't count! He did get a few onesies from MIL and FIL, and then the onesies from my Bump secret Santa!
DD made out like a bandit, of course. She got some books, a big stuffed turtle, the Cozy Coupe, a baby doll with accessories (including a nice little doll-sized stroller and crib!), the Fisher Price Zoo Talkers set, DVDs/Blu-rays, and a bunch of other things. She has way too much stuff as is; it's a good thing she's got a little brother coming to share it with.

DH's mom is so excited for her first grand baby!! So she sent us the hat and booties as well as a mommy necklace for me and she also got a bunch of books from her aunt and uncle!! Baby girl is already so spoiled.
Auntie got baby some adorable onsies and a baby monitor! Uncle got baby Sophie the giraffe and some aden and anais blankets! The baby also ended up with a cow backpack with a leash...my brother has a weird sense of humor, saying it was so when he says "Put your damn kid on a leash, you can do it!". I don't know - but its cute!
We got a lot of great things like spoons, books, a swaddle me, a bib and a baby bullet. This is a pic of the cutest things we got. We are doing a woodland theme and I've seen some felt animal pictures so when my mil saw the stocking she got it and we love it! Plus the cute socks and slippers. Plus money for our crib.
My twin sister gave me this pink baby carriage charm from the Swarovski store and I happened to get us matching charm bracelets with lockets on them that have a picture of us and our late big sis who passed away unexpectedly over the summer. I had them engraved with "Forever Sisters" written on them. We didn't plan it and we were surprised on how our gifts to eachother coincided. My Mom wasn't suprised because we are twins.
We haven't got everything. My sister wasn't able to get here from Missouri because of the ice storm, so we will have one more Christmas in January! My mom did get this though! Hubby was a basketball star in high school and so were my 3 brothers, so I guess we're getting Aiden started early!
She got her shoes a few weeks ago but I got matching ones for Christmas and I'm super exited about that! We got little things too like a boppy, some sheets, teethers, bottles, etc.
Grandma got her a Minnie Mouse dress and her Titis her lots of onesies bibs and a video monitor. Daddy got us both diamond bracelets because luckily thats April's birth stone!!! :x i got her a Snow White dress also. We still have 3 christmas' left though lol. As you can tell grandma and her one titi love animal prints lol.
My mom got her the vibrating rock n play, some sleepers, more sleepers that match little light blankets, a heavier soft blanket. MIL got her an outfit, and with part of our xmas money DH had me order our makeshift britax system. I got the b safe with the b nimble, hoping i got the right model of carseat that fits the b nimble, but in the reviews many said if not britax sends you a new adapter and it clicks right in (free). We didn't want the b agile, just a lightweight that we can still snap the seat into at first. Got it in red since the b nimble is only in red or green that I could find.

We got our sit and stand stroller, Bizzy Baby nursing cover and Baby K'Tan carrier. Oh, and DH almost wrapped up the breast pump I bought a few weeks ago (since it was on sale and I couldn't pass it up) to give to me!

So special... my grandmother (the only one left of our grandparents) is in the same situation, and it is sad to think that she will never really get to know her great grand child.... It's so amazing that our little one will have something from her!

My MIL gave us DH's crib blanket! It's adorably 70's orange plaid and in awesome shape for being 40 years old!
